William “Bill” Blick

Bill lives in New York state where he teaches writing. He’s written essays, poetry, short stories and screenplays. He volunteers to provide aid to impoverished nations.

In “The Quixotic Slumber of Mr. Jensen,” Mr. Jensen withdraws emotionally from life, and his telephone remains his sole link to reality. But the reader can tell from the memories that Mr. Jensen selectively discards what has driven the recluse to his pathological isolation. The story can be read as a variation in realistic mode on Franz Kafka’s “Metamorphosis.”
